- Pasasana

Yoga Pose Steps

1 - Begin in Tadasana, Mountain Pose.

2 - Bend knees in such a way that you are squatting completely and the buttocks are close to heels and torso against thighs. If you find it difficult to squat placing the feet flat on ground, you could place a blanket that is folded or a sandbag below your heels.

3 - Twist body from belly, towards right side. Extend left arm, bringing its upper part to outer side of right knee.

4 - Turn palm down, bend elbow and wrap forearm around right shin.

5 - Extend right arm and begin sweeping it around and towards the back.

6 - Grab left wrist in right hand. In case you find it difficult to complete this step, you could use a strap to close the gap. Alternately, you could just hook fingers.

7 - Deepen the pose by using arm that is placed against knee to twist further, towards right. Turn your head towards the right too, to make it easier. At the same time, pull your shoulder blades down the back and towards each other.
